'Rolling-ball' filleting is used when generating fillets would otherwise be inaccurate. This example shows how this methodology has been automatically incorporated into the generation of fillets, using the Solid tab > Feature panel > Fillet option.
A fillet of 15 has been added at the intersection of the block and the cylinder. The important things to note about this fillet are:
- The smooth end caps, where the surface of the fillet is curved to match the radius of the cylindrical part of the solid.
The bottom of the fillet is tangential to the cylindrical part of the solid and the top of the fillet touches the edge of the block at an angle.
